Chapter 815 Fourth Ascension Ceremony

The core members needed a moment to digest all they had learned and their newfound power. As such, they unanimously decided to compete against each other in a small-form tournament.

The current core member line up consisted of Money Lover, Cold Summer, Essence Stalker, Ghostprotokill, Shadowheart, Elle Leone, Hades, The Showman, Nightwalker, Kronalord, Akainu, Kiran, Cobra, Uno, Boyd, Slim Fatty, Deployed Soldier, Silent Walker, Dreary Traveler, Loving Aunt, Rambunctious Buttlover, Noble Writer, Intellectual Monkey, Fitter Cleric, Tunder Power, Sublime Notion, Happy Saint, Gentle Light (Lucia), Warm Spring, Gentle Flower, Noble Soul, Joker, Happy Scholar, Killer Queen (Keira), Great Caster (Hera), Trouble Maker (Yui), Sanji, Brother Is Best (Bella), Shani, Misery, AP_Berzerker and Pedro Sousa.

Their number had grown to 44 members doubling the initial 21 during the time of Abyss Event and overshadowing the 34 who had partaken in the First Inter-Player International Competition not too long ago. This was even factoring in Jada, Jade and Rina who had been missing ever since they had come to a secret agreement with Eva.

Now that ALL of these fellows had at least, Tier 2 Control, plus their various Legendary and/or Divine Classes, there was a need to establish the power ranking between them. Or, at least, refresh the old one that had been established by the end of the First Inter Player International Tournament.

Still, the make things fair, they had come to the consensus that they would only do so after everyone reached Rank 4. Not to mention, some of the core members were still sporting Legendary Classes. As such, they would have to go and try to everything within their power to Class Up to Divine.

Of course, that was a story for another time...

Ignoring the B and C-tier characters, and returning to Draco, the one one only was currently in a Private Room in the Rank 7 Guildhall's Training Hall. He waved a hand and released Eva from their Inner Universe, who surprisingly came out without Lucitera.

While Daddy had been busy educating the ignorant masses, his baby girl had kept herself occupied by draining torrents of Origin Energy from the Inner Universe, after which she had immediately entered a deep hibernation coated in the energy.

Worries about their offspring, Mommy had instantly logged out to check the effects, only to be told that the AI had to direct almost 75% of its total power production to maintain Lucitera's pod.

Apparently, the little one was converting the Nuclear Energy provided to Origin Energy herself in reality, but the conversion upwards was so slow and so poor that it was estimated that she would be in hibernation for an indeterminate amount of time.

This news dumbfounded Draco. He could barely deal with Aetheric Energy at his current level, yet his own child, less than a day old, was easily playing with Origin Energy?

Was it that he was trash or he lacked imagination?

As for the energy provision by the AI, Draco could only sigh and agree with Eva that they had to find a way to make it up to the AI. Many of its subroutines and operations would have to be shut down to account for the decrease in power, except the crucial ones, like its base operations and Shangtian's imprisonment.

Whatever the case, that was for later. Knowing that their little monster was safe under the protection of her nominal grandparents, was enough for her parents. Right now, he and Eva needed to increase their power and understand the limits of their bloodline. After that, they could finally proceed beyond Tier 5 Control and aim for up to Tier 9!

First things first, to complete the fourth ascension ceremony and reach Rank 4!

The duo entered two different Private Rooms and began the procedures.

｢System to Player Announcement

The duo selected yes on either side.

｢Abyssal/Celestial Prime (Rank 3) – Class

Draco and Eva each noticed that the success rate had returned to 100%. During their Rank 3 procedure, it had dropped to 99% since there had been a minuscule chance for them to fail. Thankfully, the two had used different but effective methods to clear it.

What did they have to fear? All they had was curiosity towards the actual ceremony itself.

...............….

The next moment, Draco appeared within the strange space that housed his three Inheritances and their avatars once more.

It was a pitch-black world with a darkness so deep that it looked tangible. Within this darkness was a round platform-like area that was lit up slightly by an intangible source. The ground was a cyan color and within this circular area were three different columns of statues.

The leftmost column had the motif of a handsome, androgynous man whose looks were supreme under heaven. He had two amazing, black angelic wings and he wore Draco's futuristic-like armor when he transformed into his Devil Form.

Behind him were various other statues, numbering fifty including the aspects of the Devil Race, including Lilith, Asmodeus, Mephistopheles, and Djinn.

The rightmost column had a statue of a thick, robust man with endless muscles coating his body, yet he remained somewhat slim. His skin was a deep red color and two horns existed on his forehead. He had long hair that reached his waist, and his bearing was perfect for speedy combat. His lower region was only covered by a skirt-like ancient Greek warrior's belt that was scaly in nature.

Behind him were many ugly and monstrous statues, including 9 prominent statues that were all styled after a level of hell, from Limbo down to Treachery, while behind them were the statues of the Four Horsemen. Behind the Four Horsemen were the statues of Baphoment, Abaddon, Archon, Baal, Dagon, Ifrit and some others.

In the center column was a large Black Dragon's statue. His scales glowed in the dim light and his red eyes were almost life-like. His wings were unfurled and his mouth was open in a powerful roar, as if he was displaying his might to the world.

Behind him were many statues, depicting Nuwa, Quetzalcoatl, Jormungandr, Orochi, Ouroboros, Tiamat, Eden, Leviathan and Nidhogg. There were no lesser snakes, only the total array of God Serpents of myth and legend.

When Draco appeared, the avatar statues were still kneeling towards him just as it had been when he left, including the three main statues who he had 'duped' into making him a pseudo-primogenitor.

Draco smirked as things were obviously different this time.

｢System to Player Announcement

The objective of the Abyssal Prime Rank Up (4) Procedure has been set. Player Draco must complete the fourth Ascension Ceremony to clear this task.｣

The moment he had appeared here, he knew what his task was. As such, he easily raised a finger and pointed it towards the statues who were shocked by the change in Draco's aura compared to the last time he had been there.

...............…

Eva appeared in a realm with no sky, no earth nor stars and the familiar statues were there with some changes.

The most prominent change was in the statue to the left, which had previously been that of a strange entity that looked like a badly rendered shadow, like some sort of void energy lifeform. Now, though, it was the same thing, but with a white colored form, with clean blue eyes and a glowing third eye in the middle of its forehead.

What was interesting, though, was that the dark void version with blood-red eyes still existed, but was coiled around the white version as if they were ying and yang twins.

Behind this main statue was a line-up of over a hundred different types of other statues, with half of them being bizarre and disturbing aberrations, while the other half were the visages of the various Angels from her Seven Heavens.

Right behind the main statue were four slightly smaller ones that were way bigger than the other subsidiary statues, two on each side. On the Dark side was the notable aberration with a huge central eye and many tentacles that formed their own eyes at the end, a Void Beholder as well as the most famous octopus-like monster from Lovecraftian lore with a suppressive aura that forced others to worship it, Cthulhu.

On the light side, there were Zaphiel and Ophaniel, the Angels of Wisdom and Virtuosity respectively. They were the cleansed form of the two eldritch horrors on the other side, and they glared at their counterparts with disgust.

The statue on the right was a divine maiden so beautiful that even the blind would fall to their knees in reverence. The Light Angel depicted by the statue was Amaterasu herself, clad in lovely white robes and possessing long flowing hair that was of a burnished gold color. She wore a benevolent smile befitting an Angel, and her eyes were filled with righteous light.

Behind this statue were about 20 others. All of them were legendary women throughout the history of humankind that were worshiped for their divinity and beauty. They were pinnacle beauties like Aphrodite, Venus, Freyja, Ishtar, and Yue Lao, women revered as Goddess of Love and Fertility/Sex.

It was precisely because of this Inheritance that Eva had been an EX+ Grade sexual target that even Draco couldn't get enough off. Any lesser species, whether man or women, would probably die in intercourse with Eva due to soul explosion.

In the center of the two statues was one that was very striking.

Previously, it had been in the form of a white sun with magatama symbols hovering around it. It looked esoteric and bizarre, but anyone could sense the raw power from it.

Now, though, it had morphed into the form of Light Phoenix that looked no different from Eva's own soul image. This bloodline Light Phoenix spread it wings and screech majestically as it greeted Eva with a gentle look.

Behind it were many statues. In the front row were three, a mirror, a sword, and a jewel, the three sacred treasures of Amaterasu.

Behind these three statues were hundreds more, one of each legendary species from Dragons, Qilins, fairies and more, all the Light Element.

Just like Draco, Eva knew exactly what she had to do. She reached out with a finger and pointed at the statues before her.

On both sides, endless Bloodline Energy emerged from the fingers of Draco and Eva and submerged the hundreds of statues in both their bloodline realms. The statues trembled and screamed, thrashing in pain as they were 'boiled' and 'refined'.

This went on for hundreds of seconds as Draco and Eva watched on expressionlessly, casually refining the statues until their bases cracked and shattered, releasing them to the ground.

The Bloodline Energy flow then stopped and released the bloodline statues, only that to their shock, they noticed that they were no longer statues.

They had become true Bloodline Avatars, no different from the ones Lucifer and Amaterasu themselves had!
